Which layouts exactly are you referring to? For the panel view I'm using a GridView for now. GridView is lacking suitable semantics to express what we want here, which could be described as "biased dynamic scaling": We want the individual items scale reliably to sizes that are common in the rest of the panel (this is achieved by using PlasmaCore.IconItem (as Marco points out). Then, we want to make it possible to have multi-row grids, since this allows us to keep the systray applet in the panel not too greedy, and saves space, with not too huge items. So this is very specific behaviour. So right now, I'm using a bit of javascript (which needs refinements) to calculate something sensible. I'm planning to make this "hinted" by the rendered font pixelsize, which gives us a dpi-interpolated basesize we can use for sizing the grid and deciding wether we want one or more rows (or columns, in vertical panels). This part of the new systemtray is very much work in progress, I'm experimenting with a couple of things there. I'm doing this in a 170 dpi display, by the way, and it does raise the necessity of this dynamic scaling.
